This whole saga just gets more and more bizarre!
Will be interesting to see how long Carrie lasts on the News Channel. Wouldn't be at all surprised if her contract wasn't renewed when it expires.

There can't be many companies where you can publically criticise them relentlessly on social media.
BBC is no ordinary company

I suspect that she is a staffer - in other words a permanent employee.

So she was complaining that her male colleagues were grossly overpaid and she was underpaid compared to them and she's now agreed to go back to the news channel on a 145k salary, which is more than she was on before as China Editor and she's happy with that? Not surprised she's pleased with the outcome, but I doubt the licence fee payer is going to be.
So, is she on the same salary as Simon McCoy or Clive Myrie? If she isn't and is indeed on more, the beeb has just created another gender pay gap in the process.

Why didn't there just give her that type of money and stay as China Editor? ie to match other male editors around the world?

But they did offer her a pay rise. She stated in an interview the other day that she was offered it but turned it down.

They did - an offer which would put her in the same band as Jeremy Bowen, but rather than accept she'd rather make an issue of it and slag off her employer, all because the editor based in Washington, clearly the highest profile international position, earns more.
As pointed out on Twitter today by Back the BBC should all the UK based editors now be demanding the same money as the highest paid UK editor, Laura Kuenssberg. Under Carrie's logic they would be.

Carole Walker who has also previously criticised the BBC has been invited back to occaisonally present on the news channel since her resignation from the corporation last year.
If anything as a woman in her 50s who has also complained about equal pay Carrie is probably the employee at the BBC at the lowest risk of losing her job if she wishes to stay.

Now this just seems fishy. Washington guy being Jon Sopel?

Oh dear. So the BBC are quite happy to pull Winifred Robinson off the air after supporting Carrie Gracie, but allow Carrie Gracie to go back on the News channel after what's happened over the last few days when she is still the subject of the news? It's like the left arm doesn't know what the right arm's doing - or am I missing something?

But that's sexist in itself. You can't be 'more' protected in your role based on your gender.
